Across the city, rap in particular and hip hop culture in general is being used as a youth outreach tool. Rap is about "representing", telling your story, from your perspective.

We went to two community centres -- Centre Communautaire Tyndale St-Georges in Little Burgundy and La Maison des Jeunes de la Cote-des-Neiges -- and asked young people to tell us their stories in rhymes.
